' ; Pearson was a blacksmith and resided in Monroe, City. -For the past few weeks he had been in- the employ of McDaniel & Swinney in this city, going home Saturday nights to spend Sunday with his family.

As soon as the baggage was loaded the train started and Pearson apparently determined to go, grabbed the hand bars of one of the Pullmans and swung on to the train. It is supposed he was unable to make himself heard by anyone on the train and when his strength failed, dropped while the train was running about 60 miles an hour. Could he have held on a moment longer he probably would have safely landed in Monroe. , ... ; The body was found by Harry Jackson Sunday morning lying only a few feet from the track. , Deceased was. about 45 years ol age and leaves a wife and two boys, the youngest being almost grown.

Canning Factory Statement. J. M. Jfoore, bookkeeper for the Shelbina Canpfng factory, furnishes us the followiig statement concerning the business of the company the past season. ? , .The Stalbina Canning Co. this year received 263,000 pounds of tomatoes and 225,000 pounds of corn from growers. They packed and sold 4,526 dozen cans of com at an average ' price of 63 cents per dozen. Paid out for day labor, piece work and night watch ... .$1,420.20 For superintendent, processor, weigher and engineer. 1,150.00 D. little for securing contracts from growers. . -; 100.00 ' -fotal ... . .$2,670.20 Cora averaged 450 cans per ton of rawlmaterial and tomatoes averaged 16 cans per bushel of net tomatoes. This; season, . we all know, was against the growers because many could not plant until too late, some had their crops injured by hail, all by too much rain and n: any by excessive late drouth and nearly all were caught by early killing frost, just when their tomatoes were com ing into the best bearing. Yet it is considered we have had a fair year, this being our first year, necessitat ing mnch expense in beginning and also Adding much expense to labor because of inexperience and con- etantchanging from one pack to the other and adding incidental ex penses., All of the product is sold and they have, calls for more from some of tht first houses to which their goods were delivered, and while the growers will receive 35 cents per hundred or 21 cents per bushel for tomatoes, and 30 cents per hundred; or $6.00 per ton far their corn, it should be understood they could have packed nearly double this amount with but little more expense and would have done so had the season been favor able, f The Shelbina Canning ,Co. has now had experience which will be valuable next year. They can now see where to -economine and to plan and A . majority of the help kn w how-to do the work properly and stockholders, growers aad help should all take courage from the fact that others make it pay and make money out of canning.. "Why can't we?" Subscribe some acreage and give it a fair trial, be as fair with this business as you would your own. Let all of us try and arrange to plant from 2 to 10 acres next year, work it as we would our other crops, deliver it at the proper time and the management do its best asd we certainly can be as successful as other canning factories. Bring your tickets to the office of J. M. Moore,, over the .. Shelbina National Bank. He is authorized to give your check and . take tip your tickets this week. Christmas at the Churches.
